problems-piling-upSince my husband developed this UTI life has not only been abnormal because of  Covid 19 but also because of dealing with someone who can’t think straight. It is better but not totally gone. God bless all those who live with an Alzheimer’s patients. I really don’t know how you do it.

The anxiety has taken its toll on my mental health and my body. IBSD has flared up after being gone for quite a long time. I know that all of this will end but I want to hurry it up. Living as we do we are mostly alone. We have some family here but they are unable to help much. It is not the day to day help I miss but the comfort of hugs and contact with friends. I am a person who knows the comfort of human touch. I count on it. It is what I miss the most. With my husband not well I feel very alone.

some-things-take-time-stay-patient-and-stay-positive-things-22810906This is my time to spend time with God and that has been helping. I also keep in mind my grandmother whose favorite quote was  “and this too shall pass.” She had such strength and faith.

There are many who are suffering much more that I and I hope they can find the resources they need, stay well, and survive the physical and financial crisis. There will be many to help in the days to come and it is up to us to do what we can.

 

Remember my favorite quote:

  2. Keep powering through this…. It is rather sad how our times have forced us to stay away from all human touch, but the way I see it and the way you’ve put it, it’s a time we stay in connect with God that we often times loose track of.
    And surprisingly , this too shall pass has been my daily reminder for some years now ever since I got into college. So it’s was nice seeing that your grandmother believed in it too.

  3. Never minimize what you are going through, my friend. Yes, it is right to keep perspective; things can always be worse. That being said, what you are dealing with is definitely challenging you and your husband and that is significant. Make sure he is drinking plenty of fluids. I will pray for you both today. What is your husbands name?
